< Zaburi 124 >
1 Wer ma ji wero kadhi e hekalu. Mar Daudi. Ka dine bed ni Jehova Nyasaye ok jakorwa, jo-Israel mondo owach kamano,
A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)
2 ka dine bed ni Jehova Nyasaye ok jakorwa kane ji omonjowa,
If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,
3 e kinde mane mirima mabebni ka mach omakogi kodwa, to dine gimwonyowa ngili;
They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.
4 ataro dine odinonwa, ee, kodh yamo dine oywerowa,
Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:
5 kendo pi maringo matek dine odhi kodwa.
Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.
6 Pak mondo odogne Jehova Nyasaye, ma ok oseyie mondo gikidhwa gi lekegi.
Praysed be the Lord, which hath not giuen vs as a praye vnto their teeth.
7 Wasetony mana ka winyo mowuok e wino mar jachik winy; wino osechodi, to wan wasetony.
Our soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the foulers: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.
8 Konyruokwa ni e nying Jehova Nyasaye, Jachwech polo gi piny.
Our helpe is in the Name of the Lord, which hath made heauen and earth.
